Known as the "Black Moses," Harriet Tubman led hundreds of slaves to freedom via the famed Underground Railroad and became a hero of American history. Now Tubman's story is re-imagined for the stage in A Change Gon' Come at Arts Barn. This multimedia production, featuring music, dance and video imagery, starts off in the present day with a young African-American TV news reporter named Helen, who's oblivious to her own ancestral roots. Assigned to produce a tribute to Tubman in honor of African-American Heritage Month, she drifts off to sleep -- and awakens as a slave on a plantation during the mid-1800s. Living through Tubman's times, Helen discovers the emotional struggle of those who came before her and the true strength of this extraordinary woman in the face of seemingly insurmountable circumstances.
